After arriving at the Bristol Motor Speedway on Wednesday, we got settled and Jimmy promptly got on the roof of the bus to mess with the satellite dish because the tracking was off a little bit, then headed over to the suite to watch the truck race and the modifieds (type of race car) run, for the first time at the track, on pavement, instead of dirt. The clouds looked rather ominous, but the rain held off until later in the night. Thursday was a "chill" day and we just ran around visiting with friends, went into town for groceries and to eat. Friday was spent taking it easy (I had hurt my back on Monday and was living on Advil and the heating pad) until time for the 1st night race.....the Nationwide series. (kinda the bush league).

Went to the suite on our trusty "whitey" the Roadhog because it is waaaaayyyy too far to walk and we can get around like a golf cart, but it qualifies as a handicapped vehicle, since I have a bum right ankle.

Saturday morning, Ken and Chris ( our friends that own a bunch of "Sonic"s had breakfast for everyone......omelettes! I have never done it this way....but it was PERFECT. Take a baggie, put 3 eggs, cheese, mushrooms, bacon, tomatoes, ham or anything you please in it, seal it, moosh it all up really good, then put it in a pot of hot water for 5-10 minutes, depending on how much stuff you have in it. When it is done, just slide it out on a plate....and viola! perfectly shaped omelette! Really cool! and simple!

Then, by about 5:30, everyone headed over to the suite for the Cup Race. It was pretty exciting, several wrecks, it was Mark Martin's 1000th career start in a race and he had the pole position. He almost won, but that brat Kyle Busch won, instead. But the food, drink and company was good, anyway. Sunday morning, we all pulled out, it was a ghost town by noon...Got home Monday evening, good to sleep in a big bed and take a "real" shower! ha!ha!
